General Greely. chief signal officer of the United States army. In his annual report shows that during the year the system of military telegraph lines and cables in Alaska authorized by Congress has been completed. and consists of 1,740 miles. In speaking of the extre ne difficulties encountered In running telegraph lines in the far north General Greely says: eaily springs, late autumns, enormous snowfalls, summer floods, impassable canons, and.

last of all, a gold fever which stripped one officer of every civilian employe save one, have alternately impeded progress, but the energy and resourcefulness of the officers in charge of the work have met and overcome difficulties which seemed Insurmountable." It is stated that one line was pushed along a route pronounced impracticable, and another across a country that had never before been trodden by the foot of a white man. Attention Is called to the fact that not twenty miles of constructed wagon roads exist in the country traversed, and that as a rule alt material was sledded into the interior in midwinter are carried by pack animals over the roughest trail. Of the enlisted men of the signal corps who made up the construction parties. General Greelv says: "It is doubted whether in the peaceful annals of th? army there have been met with nobler fortitude by the enlisted men equal conditions of hardship and privation." Tribute also is paid to the line of the army for its service in connection with telegraph construction in Alaska. As to automobiles and balloons.

Gen. Greely says: "In view of the prospective of auto-propelled vehicles to telegraph and balloon trains, the chief signal officer of the army has continued experiments with automobiles. The Signal Corps' experiences have demonstrated the practicability of self-propelled vehicles for such military purposes. While the good points of electric and steam vehicles arc thoroughly recognized, yet the internal combustion using kerosene or other oil. seems preferable for war purposes.

Tills type has especially valuable features from a military standpoint in its small fuel and water consumption, essential qualities to any army in the field. It may be added that experiments in foreign service confirmed the experience of the Signal Corps as to the advisability of using auto-propelled vehicles for special military purposes. "It has been impossible to do any ballooning work during the past year. First there were neither men nor officers available for that purpose. Second, repeated efforts in the form of applications to fortv or more firms in the United States disclosed the Inability of the Signal Corps to obtain from private manufacturers compressed hydrogen gas.

which Is absolutely necessary for successful aeronautical work with captive balloons. With additional officers obtakied by detail under the law, it Is hoped that some udvance may be made in placing this important military work in a condition of efficiency during the coming year. It now seems certain that, a permanent plant for making an.d compressing hydrogen gas will be necessary for successful work." Plan of Reorganization. General Greely submits a plan for the reorganization of the signal corps to meet the Increased requirements of the arrtly. It is recommended that the enlisted force consist of three battalions of four companies each, each company to have a minimum force of 100 men.

General Greely says there should be one additional colonel to give the signal corps the proportion of Meld officers equal to the minimum accorded any other staff corps of the army. The organization. he says, should be under the same conditions as those which characterize the admirable organization of the corps of engineers. "The condition of the enlisted men In the Philippines," says he, "has been deplorable, and that of the men In Alaska only less so. It should be possible to relieve men in the Philippines and In Alaska by the detail of companies which would guarantee to the men of the signal corps the same certainty of equitable service abroad as is granted to other branches of the service, but which Indisputably has been denied to the signal corps of the army in the past as impracticable.

This despite the favorable action of the Secretary of War." Signal Corps Estimates. The estimates for the Signal Corps proper cover two first for the general work of the corps amounting to and the second for the continuance of the Alaskan cable system amounting to $321,580. There was appropriated for Alaskan cables during the present year the sum of The new estimate is for the purchase, installation, operation and maintenance of a submarine cable connecting the headquarters. Department of the military garrisons in Alaska, extending from Sitka to Fort Listum. This extension, General Greely says, is necessary to connect western Alaskan military telegraph section of miles with the eastern section of 1,500 miles and make it a homogenous system extenaing from Nome, Alaska, to Seattle, Wash.

It will give the States, he says, direct telegraphic control of Alaska, Independent of the Canadian telegraph lines, over which all military messages are now necessarily transmitted to and from the western military telegraph section. miles in extent. The estimates for the fire control installation in coast defenses aggregates $1,024,794, an increase of over the amount appropriated for the current year. There has been no appreciable reduction of expenses In the Philippine Islands during the fiscal year, and the demands upon the Signal Corps for service have continued. vThe Post at Fort Myer.

Referring to the Signal Corps post at Fort Myer, Gen. Greely says that the primary function of the post is the instruction of untrained officers and men, while secondarily it serves as a depot of repairs Issues. Its value as a school of he says, Is shown by the fact that 178 enlisted or transferred men have Joined during the year. The necessities of the service have reduced the period of instruction to four and one-half months, which, he says, is too limited a period for proper training. He says the excellent qu.ility of the recruits and character of the garrison is shown by the fact that, despite the unpleasant surroundings that have grown up since the canteen system was modified there has been during the past year but one trial by court-martial and nineteen by summary courts.

The transportation facilities at the are described as inadequate, it being necessary to haul all supplies to and from the post six miles each way by wagon. "I'nfortunately It has been impossible," says Gen. Greely. "owing to the great scarcity of officers to furnish the technical Instruction for the officers at the post, the commanding officer being unable to do more than supervise military instruction, pure and simple, and instruction of officers has necessarily been suspended, much to the Injury of the service and to the detriment of the Individual officers. The relations of the two independent posts at Fort cavalry and s.gnal corps postshave been most harmonious.

Colonel Kdgerly having invariably co-operaUd with Col. Thompson In all matters affect.ng the Interests of both posts." Decree of Divorce Signed. Justice Gould, In Equity Court No. 2. has signed a decree granting William H.

Blout said; "The condition of many of our pooi has been materially improved. Many were aided to become self-sustaining and many been relieved as circumstances would permit, while some whose co- 'on was of a foreign to suwr "S- incident of a Jewish soldier, who, being dis waiUnK a long time, became discouraged. was i $17.50 a month. "The incident cited. said Mr.

"proves conclusively that the mere doling out of the necessaries of life is not ail that institutes charity work. Tc.aid andI cheer the forlorn, who from pride and shrink from the cold charities of to elevate the condition of the fallen, to save the unknown from a pauper Brave, are aims which point to the higher purpose our milsion. Neither food nor fuel can heal the wounds of the unfortunate, good cheer, evidence of interest in their condition, good counsel and advice being often mote soothing ttian food and shelter. To feed the hungry, nurse the feeble are but the minor functions of charity. Incidents of greater and more vital concern not only tax those who are charged with this work, but necessitates time and means far greater.

Duty to Relieve Poverty. "It is not our purpose to speculate as to the origin poverty, but it is our duty to relieve It. Conditions will never change while we are content in affluence by comfortable firesides and let poverty remain ignored and neglected. The needs and wants of the unfortunates are our needs wants By relieving their distress we aie not only elevating them but ourselves. "The necessity of furnishing temporary shelter combined with a satisfying meal, has often become apparent and caused no little apprehension to the management.

10 suppy this want an institution, known as the Hebrew Inn, connected with and under the immediate control of our charities, has of late been created, where a temporary shelter, bed and board are furnished. This Institution, owing to insufficient support for Its maintenance is as yet incomplete. Assistance is needed to complete this home. You yourself may never experience the want of a comfortable bed or may never feel the pangs of hunger, but there are those who have, and in behalf of these unfortunates the society asks you to lend a helping liand." The Home Poor. Mr Blout made reference to the efforts made to relieve suffering among kin and friends in foreign countries, and he urged that the needs of the poor at home should not be forgotten.

Continuing, the speaker said: "The mere adherence to customs and ceremonies does not always signify sincerity of devotion: to visit the house of worship, to listen to beautiful sermons on the ethics of philanthropy, to be told of our ward our fellow-men. signifies but little unless these admonitions are heeded and put into execution. All the sermons of a lifetime will not till the treasury of a charity organization, nor will they put bread into the mouth of the hungry, nor teach people their duty toward suffering humanity so well as will one short term of personal contact with the suffering, a personal conviction of their needs and wants, of individual responsibility. "Contributions and donations from various sources, different associations, as well as individuals, have materially helped us to accomplish that which otherwise would have been impossible, notable among which is the help of quite a number of ladles. Special mention should be made of the assistance rendered by the ladies' Sewing Circle, the Guild and many others.

The thanks of the management and the association are due them, and they should receive proper recognition. The readiness and willingness of the officers and members of the board, their zeal and devotion to duty, regardless of the sacrifice of time and patience, deserve our admiration and our warmest thanks. mention should likewise be made of the voluntary offering of the services of Dr. Harry Kaufman, whose attentions to the sick poor were promptly and willingly given whenever asked, and are hereby gratefully recognized. "Poverty may not be done away with by the collection of statistics, nor the woes of the unfortunate be lessened by elaborate reports, but the deserving will be more speedily relieved, and impostors more readily detected, where system and order govern and duties and obligations reign."
